The pastoral vocation of the territory of the Alta Murgia near Bari has an ancient story which is linked without doubt to the Canestrato pugliese. The name of this cheese derives from the wicker basket in which it reaches maturation. The wicker baskets are a traditional product of the Puglia area. The production of Canestrato is linked to the transhumance practices, to which this cheese owes its diffusion. In modern times the change occurred in 1946 when the local farmers decided to form an association and become a wining team for the future of their farms and the environment in which they operated.
Consumption
The cheese is usually seasoned for around 90 days, and is fantastic with broad beans, pears, raw vegetables, and accompanied by white wines or rosé. The mature Canestrato pugliese is mainly used as grated cheese to flavour meat based dishes, but is also served with different vegetables such as olives, chicory and sedan. In this case the cheese is well accompanied by red wines such as Cabernet and Chianti.
